Looking for an HTPC software solution.
One option I still have to try is Flex Launcher, in my current setup, if Kodi crashes for some reason, I'm stuck on a desktop that doesn't really work with my remote control or game controller and I don't keep a keyboard within easy reach.

Bigscreen: Several questions...
If Plasma Bigscreen doesn't work for you, another option to consider is Flex Launcher. It's a TV-style launcher like Plasma Bigscreen that is Raspberry Pi compatible, but it doesn't depend on KDE. Its user interface is very simple, just some icons and text on the screen.

Online in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s.
IRC - Also still around and in some cases, the same as it ever was, albeit with a smaller user base. A list of networks can be found here, and while there are many actively developed IRC clients out there, if you don't know where to start, most people recommend HexChat. Reddit's affiliated network is called Snoonet. mIRC is still actively developed by Khaled Mardam-Bey, so by all means, feel free to give that a shot if you are so inclined.
